The initial number of trees is when t = 0:-
1500 * t^0 = 1500 so the answer is either a or c.
The value 1.02 represents a 2% increase so the answer is Option c.
So, since 100% = 128, x should equal 96, and we are trying to find x.
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
(100/x) * x = (128/96) * x
Cancel out the x's on the left side so
100 = 1.333(x)
75 = x
96 is 75% of 128
